Community Council

What is a Community Council and what does it do? 

The Community Council is a non-political organisation, set up by statute, which represents the concerns of the people of the Quothquan and Thankerton Community Council area and will where necessary pursue the concerns of residents to South Lanarkshire Council and other organisations as necessary. We seek the views and input from all our communities.   

Your Community Council members are all people who care about our community and want to make it a great place to live, and Your Community Council also aims to bring local people together to help make things happen.
